Publisher Copyright: © 2020 Elsevier B.V.It is well known that weighted sum of node states plays an essential role in function implementation of neural networks. Therefore, this paper proposes a new weighted sum synchronization model for memristive neural networks. Unlike the existing synchronization models of memristive neural networks which control each network node to reach synchronization, the proposed model treats the networks as dynamic entireties by weighted sum of node states and makes the entireties instead of each node reach expected synchronization. In this paper, weighted sum complete synchronization and quasi-synchronization are both investigated by designing feedback controller and aperiodically intermittent controller, respectively. Meanwhile, a flexible control scheme is designed for the proposed model by utilizing some switching parameters and can improve anti-interference ability of control system. By applying Lyapunov method and some differential inequalities, some effective criteria are derived to ensure the synchronizations of memristive neural networks. Moreover, the error level of the quasi-synchronization is given. Finally, numerical simulation examples are used to certify the effectiveness of the derived results.Peer reviewe

This manuscript is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Licence http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/.Due to instability being induced easily by parameter disturbances of network systems, this paper investigates the multistability of memristive Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (MCGNNs) under stochastic parameter perturbations. It is demonstrated that stable equilibrium points of MCGNNs can be flexibly located in the odd-sequence or even-sequence regions. Some sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the exponential multistability of MCGNNs under parameter perturbations. It is found that there exist at least (w+2) l (or (w+1) l) exponentially stable equilibrium points in the odd-sequence (or the even-sequence) regions. In the paper, two numerical examples are given to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the obtained results.Peer reviewe

Synchronization of inertial memristive neural networks with time-varying delays via static or dynamic event-triggered control

Funding Information: This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 61971185, the Major Research Project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 91964108 and the Open Fund Project of Key Laboratory in Hunan Universities under Grant 18K010. Publisher Copyright: © 2020 Elsevier B.V.This paper investigates the synchronization problem of inertial memristive neural networks (IMNNs) with time-varying delays via event-triggered control (ETC) scheme and state feedback controller for the first time. First, two types of state feedback controllers are designed; the first type of controller is added to the transformational first-order system, and the second type of controller is added to the original second-order system. Next, based on each feedback controller, static event-triggered control (SETC) condition and dynamic event-triggered control (DETC) condition are presented to significantly reduce the update times of controller and decrease the computing cost. Then, some sufficient conditions are given such that synchronization of IMNNs with time-varying delays can be achieved under ETC schemes. Finally, a numerical simulation and some data analyses are given to verify the validity of the proposed results.Peer reviewe

Time-delayed impulsive control for discrete-time nonlinear systems with actuator saturation

This paper focuses on the problem of time-delayed impulsive control with actuator saturation for discrete-time dynamical systems. By establishing a delayed impulsive difference inequality, combining with convex analysis and inequality techniques, some sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure exponential stability for discrete-time dynamical systems via time-delayed impulsive controller with actuator saturation. The designed controller admits the existence of some transmission delays in impulsive feedback law, and the control input variables are required to stay within an availability zone. Several numerical simulations are also given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.&nbsp

Predefined-time synchronization of 5D Hindmarsh–Rose neuron networks via backstepping design and application in secure communication

In this paper, the fast synchronization problem of 5D Hindmarsh–Rose neuron networks is studied. Firstly, the global predefined-time stability of a class of nonlinear dynamical systems is investigated under the complete beta function. Then an active controller via backstepping design is proposed to achieve predefined-time synchronization of two 5D Hindmarsh–Rose neuron networks in which the synchronization time of each state variable of the master-slave 5D Hindmarsh–Rose neuron networks is different and can be defined in advance, respectively. To show the applicability of the obtained theoretical results, the designed predefined-time backstepping controller is applied to secure communication to realize asynchronous communication of multiple different messages. Three numerical simulations are provided to validate the theoretical results

Quantized passive filtering for switched delayed neural networks

The issue of quantized passive filtering for switched delayed neural networks with noise interference is studied in this paper. Both arbitrary and semi-Markov switching rules are taken into account. By choosing Lyapunov functionals and applying several inequality techniques, sufficient conditions are proposed to ensure the filter error system to be not only exponentially stable, but also exponentially passive from the noise interference to the output error. The gain matrix for the proposed quantized passive filter is able to be determined through the feasible solution of linear matrix inequalities, which are computationally tractable with the help of some popular convex optimization tools. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the usefulness of the quantized passive filter design methods

SATURATED AND ASYMMETRIC SATURATED IMPULSIVE CONTROL SYNCHRONIZATION OF COUPLED DELAYED INERTIAL NEURAL NETWORKS WITH TIME-VARYING DELAYS

This paper considers control systems with impulses that are saturated and asymmetrically saturated which are used to examine the synchronization of inertial neural networks (INNs) with time-varying delay and coupling delays. Under the theoretical discussions, mixed delays, such as transmission delay and coupling delay are presented for inertial neural networks. The addressed INNs are transformed into first order differential equations utilizing variable transformation on INNs and then certain adequate conditions are derived for the exponential synchronization of the addressed model by substituting saturation nonlinearity with a dead-zone function. In addition, an asymmetric saturated impulsive control approach is given to realize the exponential synchronization of addressed INNs in the leader-following synchronization pattern. Finally, simulation results are used to validate the theoretical research findings
